from my mother’s home
in the room where I write
she often asked,

Daily writing prompt
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
I remember when I first began sending my poems to editors for review.
Time Of Singing was one of the first print journals to publish my work. The new Spring 2023 issue begins their Volume 50, which is a wonderful achievement. Lora Homan Zill is editor.
